GIRL! you and me both. I’m working with one of the medium craft ones you find out Michaels and was so frustrated with trying to figure out how to get hooped and not be in the way of the needle.
I’ve been thinking about embroidering on tote bags but wasn’t too sure how to do it. Your video was very helpful and now I feel confident that I can do it myself. Thank you!!
Wow. Thank you! I don’t know why I didn’t click on this video initially when I saw the preview. Instead, I watched ones where they hooped the bag and I’m using a medium size tote and it was just working my soul😫.
@@SookieSews Thanks! I have watched those. Just can't figure out the zipper part? Should I take seams out on two sides that don't meet the zipper? Thanks!
It’s a mid weight canvas that comes already sewn into a bag from AllAboutBlanks.com. Nice quality bag and I’ve used it as my tote for about a year now. Excellent quality
Sorry it wasn’t exactly what you’re looking for however I’ve been embroidering on canvas for years and years and no matter the weight I’d use the same set up. Maybe more stabilizer for underneath if I was worried about it not being enough stabilizer. Good luck and let me know how it goes.
So much easier then I though the centring part was the bit I was struggling with therefore just over thinking it x
So glad to hear!!
Oh my gosh This is the video I NEEDED to embroider my tote! After hours of struggling to get it in the hoop, I found this and it worked!!! Thank you!

Thanks so much Tina for stopping by and watching my video, sorry about your other experience. Hope you consider subscribing.
This helped tremendously!!! Thank you!
You are very welcome
Thanks for inspiring me to get my embroidery machine fixed so I can use it again!
Wonderful! That is awesome!!!
I’m pretty much a newbie on the embroidery machine. This is very helpful. Thank you 😊

Sue OVery 😊 thank you so much.
Looks easy! A friend gave me two totes. I want to put her name on one. Thanks for showing how it's done.
Go for it!
loved this tutorial Sue..so pretty 👍😍
Thanks so much 😊
Great tutorial. Totes are easier than towels, I think...I like to add embroidered pockets to totes with no pockets.
Thank you
You are welcome
Loved this video, thank you! Would love to see one on the zippered pillows I purchased from All About Blanks. Thanks!
I've got a couple on pillows from All About Blanks, try here: th-cam.com/video/U8i4UNCUqXo/w-d-xo.html

@@hutchinsmichelle That is a great idea. Unless you can hoop it and then puddle the materials around the hoop.
@@SookieSews thanks so much!
Love this! Beautiful!😊💖
Thank you! Cheers!
Instead of ripping it off I carefully cut it out. Then I repatch the window over and over to save on stabiliser.
Yep! That’s a great way to save money :)
So how would you embroider on the other side and centered???
Will have to save for another video
what weight canvas were you embroidering on?
It’s a mid weight canvas that comes already sewn into a bag from AllAboutBlanks.com. Nice quality bag and I’ve used it as my tote for about a year now. Excellent quality
@@SookieSews Thank you for your quick response. I was hoping you'd know the weight because I will be making my own bags. Thanks anyway!

@@SookieSews Thank you so much for your response. I greatly appreciate it!!
How did you get a nice thick font like that? I have a Brother M380d and not sure how to get a nice thick font/how to thicken the fonts I am using
It is just the font built in, you might consider looking into software then you will have more font options.
